KETO RECIPES

The truth is that I made this Cheesy Jalapeno Omelet for the first time in June. It was when the jalapeno plants in the garden started exploding with peppers all over. And then after I tasted it for the first time I knew I had to share the recipe with you guys.
Now it’s October and the recipe is finally here. What took me so long? Well, I’ve been eating these Cheesy Jalapeno Omelets nonstop!
This new keto diet has pushed us to our limits, trying out Keto Recipes and turning to the new healthy can be difficult when we don’t know which recipes actually qualify as keto recipes. Whether it is cauliflower casserole or this cheesy jalapeno Omelet, I’m digging out new Keto Recipes each day. And this recipe makes for a great breakfast!
The basis of this recipe is my favorite scrambled eggs recipe. Not to brag, but they kind of has been declared the best scrambled eggs by many eaters, so yeah. It’s a good start. This recipe for eggs has been with me for a long time and I pretty much stick with it as it’s my favorite. Throw in some cheese and chopped up jalapenos, fold the eggs instead of scrambling and the Cheesy Jalapeno Omelet is born.
Cheesy Jalapeno Omelet
First, you’ll need one jalapeno pepper to make 2 omelets, chop it up finely. We had jalapenos still growing, even though it was October! So we have a big bag of them in the kitchen. Jalapenos also freeze great if you want to make them last longer.
Then you want to start preparing your omelet mixture in a bowl. The mixture is pretty simple. It is eggs, milk, salt, and jalapenos. You’ll also need some cheese for later use.
When the omelet seems firm, then do add the cheese on one side and fold it up. I like to fry it a little longer to get those nice crispy edges. You’ll mark it as one of the best breakfast ideas for the future, I can say it without a doubt!
Breakfast Ideas
What do you have for breakfast, is it a quick meal or do you like to sit down with it? I don’t really like meal rushing, so usually, I sit down for every meal. Breakfast ranges from toast and a banana to something more savory, like scrambled eggs or an omelet. On weekends, I let my sweet tooth take command with homemade pumpkin pancakes and apple waffles. Right now I’m all about pumpkin pancakes, YUM. Let’s get back to this savory omelet treat.
This jalapeno cheesy omelet is deluxe in size and serving. You don’t need to serve it with anything else as it’s quite filling. It’s the perfect savory treat to start the day. Healthy and hearty breakfast ideas after a long night.
The smell of the cheese and the jalapenos really pushes it to the next level. A few days ago I brought an omelet to surprise Matthew at work and the smell attracted many of his colleagues to the kitchen.
Now try this out soon! Enjoy!

I’ve been craving an omelet like woah lately. I don’t know why I haven’t gotten around to making one yet, but this sounds tasty! Normally I fold my veggies in with the cheese (rather than mixing with the egg) but with jalapenos, this sounds perfect! Mmmm. Weekend omelet here I come 🙂
